“You will always have the big players, the established players in the franchise and they will win you games also. They will win you 2-3 games, but if you want to win the tournament, you will have to depend on your Indian domestic players. They will win you tournaments,” Dasgupta said.
Lastly, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Varun Chakravarthy have grown with their role in their respective franchises. They are now virtually undroppable. Their performances have even given them a spot on the Indian national team as well. Dasgupta praised the franchise for instilling faith. In such young domestic players. Ruturaj Gaikwad did not have the best of outings initially. But he got into a rhythm at the back end of the 2020 IPL and never turned back.
“The biggest takeaway, especially in the second leg has been the Indian domestic players. They completely stood out in the second leg. Whether it be Ruturaj Gaikwad, Venkatesh Iyer, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan and it is because of the Indian domestic players that CSK and KKR are in the finals. These players were groomed by the franchises,” Dasgupta added.
